About us the series Bronze
The series is composed of seven unique and spectacular models numerically named. This is the result of a journey of discovery across the sound world that the Bronze has meant for the creation of Gongs. Throughout this path, Paiste has developed a variety of forms and structures using old and new designs: various surface configurations, of structures of hammered and visual design.

The Gongs the series Bronze are made of CuSn8, 92% copper and 8% tin. Due to high copper content, in the range of colors Bronze Gong resides a warm red domain, with a spectrum ranging from golden shine to dark brown tones.
They provide a wide spectrum of frequencies and harmonics. The predominant character is alive, warm and deep. You can get a wide variety of sounds with the use of mallets of several sizes. Especially recommended the mallets small plays in the different parts of the gong.

Because of this inherent property of the alloy, the sound of the bronze gongs changes with time through the liberation tension, aging and your way of touching. That change you will notice over the years, but the basic character always stays, but the bronze gongs live and continue to change over time and under the influence the the person who touches them. Through this continuous action and reaction and the constant smooth change that results from them, there is a mutual and unique influence between you and the gong.

Important observations on care and use
The bronze alloy is very sensitive and reactive to environmental factors such as the temperature and the humidity and any foreign substance, especially fingerprint residues. For those who the aesthetic is very important, we recommend frequent cleaning, with a cloth as smooth as possible, especially immediately after use. Alternatively, you can also allow the Bronze Gongs to age and acquire a gradual patina that certain of you will appreciate.
